A Trip to School (2/21)

This is the front gate of the school where I will teach. I was able to visit today and get a tour of the buildings, meet some staff, and ask questions. They even gave me a class list and a yearbook so that I may match names and faces. I am so excited, and really curious. Teachers start on March 1, students return on March 7.


Instead of browsing papers and calling about apartments I took to the streets and walked into buildings to ask about apartments for rent. I was surprised at the success I had doing this. Not only did I learn what neighborhoods were like and where there were places for rent, but I also made friends along the way. Many people received me warmly and were understanding of my broken Spanish when speaking in person. I viewed a couple places, made some contacts, and am better able to speak about apartments now that I've had some good practice.

1 more day until Deborah get here!!!
